eSpoiled carry player Vyacheslav Ignatiev, known as asdekor_r, commented on an incident during their match against Nemiga Gaming in the closed qualifiers for The International 2025. On his personal stream, he explained that the decision to type GG prematurely was due to fatigue and high tension.
We saw that we were losing, and it was like 2-0 [presumably in maps or overall game state], and I typed GG to just finish faster? Like, what? I just don`t understand. Where`s the 322 [match-fixing] in that? Or do people just need to type `322` for the hype?
Let me tell you the story. For two days, we`ve been playing 10+ games per day. Sometimes even around a dozen. Just a million bo3s. I`ve also been sleeping… I slept very little all these days. And it so happens that for the `Int` qualifiers, we have two morning games. Morning games are always so difficult for us. I don`t know why, but when we start in the morning, we`re just too relaxed or unfocused.
An analysis of this moment was previously published: according to replay data, the eSpoiled offlaner saw enemy creeps destroying the T4 towers at the Nemiga base. While in the fountain, he checked the opponent`s base status multiple times and even pinged it for his teammates.
